MCT Oil FAQ

Q: What is MCT Oil, and what can it do for you?

MCT or medium-chain triglycerides are fats composed of a medium-length chain of fatty acids. Because of their smaller size, MCTs undergo a shorter and easier process of digestion and absorption in your body when compared to long chain triglycerides (LCTs), such as olive oil. This results in fats that are more likely to be used rather than stored as body fat. MCT Oil is broken down and provides instant energy as well as a supply of ketones, which boosts the metabolic fat burning state of ketosis.

Essentially, MCT Oil will make the process of achieving ketosis easier and it can help boost energy, sharpen focus, suppress appetite and mitigate keto-flu symptoms. If you are looking to boost your Keto Diet efforts, lose weight and reach optimal health in a natural way, then MCT Oil is definitely for you.

Q: Do all MCT Oil products work?

Unfortunately, no. Many fly-by-night companies just ride these diet/health trends, manufacturing inferior products with the wrong ingredients and proportions. They often use cheaply manufactured palm kernel oil or add C12s that can block and dilute the desired benefits of pure MCT Oil. Most do not provide a potent daily serving of more 1800 mg. Make sure you do your homework and check the labels to know what you are buying/taking.

Q: What should I look for?

• It must be extracted from coconut oil (and not palm oil).
• It must contain C8s and C10s, only (no C12s).
• It must be 100% pure with no added ingredients that might water down the product.
• It should come in an easy to use application measured dose to ensure that you get the right daily serving.
• And you need to take a minimum of 2,000mg a day (1mL, 2 times a day).

Q: What about safety? Are there side effects to watch out for?

From our research, we did not find any interference between MCT Oil and other medications or conditions. We always advise following the recommended dose as overdosing on MCT oil may lead to stomach distress. Additionally, we still recommend consulting with a physician if you have a medical condition, take medications on a regular basis and are pregnant or nursing.

Q: How do I take MCT Oil?

You should take 2,000mg a day (1mL, 2 times a day) which is about 20 drops. Some people like taking the complete dosage all at once, but we recommend spacing it out to get the most from MCT Oils. As with any type of health product, you should not exceed the recommended daily dosage, since this can pose serious health risks.

Q: How long will it take to see the effects?

Some customers we spoke to reported seeing results in as little as one week. For others, it took about a month. Results also seem to be a bit different for each person. Some show unbelievable change right away, while others don’t lose as much or as fast. Many of the reputable brands we reviewed offer refunds to customers who don’t see the results they want in any given time frame. Those people who were on the Ketogenic Diet also, experienced the best results.

Q: How much does MCT Oil cost?

The cost of MCT Oil varies based on the manufacturer. Many of them are worthless, just random companies with cheap quality products trying to cash in on the diet/health trends. Some of these companies sell their supplements for as much as $100 per bottle, which we think is a bit too high. Most of the really good products we tested fell in the $40-$50 range. Others may appear cheaper, but they often boast a one-month supply when they’re really giving you half the recommended dosage with a diluted formula.
